New diesters derived from phthaloylglycine (7a-7i) were synthesized and their structures characterized by infrared, 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The compounds were evaluated in an in silico study, which demonstrated positive features indicating a possible drug candidate. The diesters showed antifungal activity ranging from moderate to strong against strains of Candida. Compounds 7a, 7b, 7c, 7e and 7i had a moderate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1024 μg mL?1 against all fungal strains, while 7h showed a very good MIC of 256 μg mL?1 against Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis and Candida krusei and 64 μg mL?1 against Candida tropicalis. However, only 7h and 7i were able to inhibit bacterial growth of strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli with an MIC of 1024 μg mL?1

Piperine, previously extracted from black pepper (Piper nigrum L.), was used as a precursor for the synthesis of twelve new diester derivatives. The final products were obtained through the bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN2) of the alkyl 2-chloroacetates and the salt of piperic acid, obtained from the basic hydrolysis of piperine. The compounds were synthesized with yields of 55-84% and characterized by infrared spectroscopy and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The evaluation of the compounds’ potential as new drug candidates was done through an in silico study of ADME properties (absorption, distribution, metabolization and excretion) and evaluation of antimicrobial activity against bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), yeasts (Candida albicans and Candida tropicalis) and filamentous fungi (Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger). The in silico study showed that the compounds were good drug candidates and antimicrobial evaluation demonstrated that 9 of the 12 compounds exhibited a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging 1024-256 μg mL?1

Rationale: A principal limitation of gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the thermal instability of analytes. We propose that the injector and column temperatures should not exceed the atmospheric pressure boiling point, without decomposition, of the highest homologue of the series being analyzed, instead of the time-consuming procedure of obtaining chromatograms using different temperatures. Methods: A series of thermally unstable diazocarbonyl compounds, alkyl diazoacetates (predicted limit of stability approx. 140 °C, the boiling point of ethyl diazoacetate), was selected for GC/MS analysis using standard equipment. Different GC separation conditions were selected so that the retention temperatures of target compounds were both below and above 140°C. Results: Analyzing alkyl diazoacetates within their thermal stability range permitted reanalysis of their typical synthesis by-products. No dialkyl fumarate or maleate impurities, principal decomposition products which have often been reported previously, were found. Instead, alkyl esters of glycolic acid nitrate, O2NOCH 2CO2R, and 'pseudo-dimeric' products, ROCO[C 2H3NO]CO2R, were discovered for the first time. Conclusions: Avoiding the decomposition of thermally unstable organic compounds during GC and/or GC/MS analysis requires estimating their degradation temperature limits. This limit can be estimated as being equal to the atmospheric pressure boiling point of the highest homologue in the homologous series under consideration that does not decompose on boiling.

Page/Page column 29, (2008/06/13)
One aspect of the present invention relates to cinchona-alkaloid-based catalysts. A second aspect of the invention relates to a method of preparing a derivatized cinchona alkaloid catalyst by reacting a cinchona-alkaloid with base and a compound that has a suitable leaving group. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of preparing a chiral, non-racemic compound from a prochiral cyclic anhydride or a meso cyclic anhydride, comprising the step of: reacting a prochiral cyclic anhydride or a meso cyclic anhydride with a nucleophile in the presence of a catalyst; wherein said prochiral cyclic anhydride or meso cyclic anhydride comprises an internal plane of symmetry or point of symmetry or both; thereby producing a chiral, non-racemic compound; wherein said catalyst is a derivatized cinchona-alkaloid. Yet another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of kinetic resolution, comprising the step of: reacting a racemic cyclic anhydride with an alcohol in the presence of a derivatized cinchona-alkaloid catalyst.
